Book Description

Researchers are analogous to private investigators. Both are attempting to learn something at the moment. Both parties are engaging in questioning and responding to one another. Both are attempting to piece together the pieces of a puzzle in order to find an answer. In both cases, the questions that are answered lead to other questions. In both cases, the ability to recognize patterns is essential to completing the task at hand.
